Another Thought

Though American consumers face economic uncertainty and precarious income and spending environments we must persevere and remain optimistic. As fear builds the natural tendency is to panic, remove money from stock markets, cease spending and shore up our resources against the dangers of a plunging Dow. The solution is not accomplished through evacuation and retreat. We must exercise our duty as American consumers and buy knives both to stimulate the economy and to ensure that if the moment arrives when we must defend our families, property and land, we will be ready.

Today’s Thought

          Once in a great while we, as a human race, see individuals emerge with raw passion, relentless devotion and unconquerable enthusiasm. These individuals, fueled by their infinite reservoirs of physical and mental energy, forge paths of innovation, crash through the complacent mediocrity of society and disrupt the foundations on which many will build the future. Never content, these forward thinking innovators disrupt the mundane flow of time tested culture and create an infectious dissatisfaction and mistrust of the conventional and comfortable.  Sometimes we praise these individuals and call them leaders. Sometimes we incarcerate these individuals and call them criminals.

Today’s Thought:

Some men are born great while other men scrape their way up an impossible incline and, against all odds, grab hold of the edge of greatness and hang on with superhuman resolve. Defying human limitation a few of these men forge a foot hold and haul themselves up, over and onto the edge where they lay, exhausted, spent, having used their unrelenting focus to achieve the unattainable. And once in a great while a man will rise, turn to the edge and stand resolute. A victor in a nearly hopeless battle, a man who has achieved excellence and who has forged greatness in the fire of effort and who wears that greatness justly and with honor. That moment- the moment when his back is turned- is the moment when those of us born great must push the man from the edge.
